Everyone is talking about GLP-1 agonists these days. Even though these drugs have been around for a while to treat conditions like Type II diabetes, more and more people are taking Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro to jump start their weight loss journey. Losing weight is hard work and it takes a long time. Taking a GLP-1 agonist can help someone begin losing weight while still working toward lifestyle changes to maintain their weight loss. 

Like with any new weight loss regimen, it’s important to promote safe, healthy habits while finding a way to track progress and celebrate successes. ZOZOFIT is an innovative solution that uses 3D body scanning technology to help users see how their shape changes over time so that they have a greater understanding of how their lifestyle decisions are impacting their body. 

Understanding GLP-1 Agonists

GLP-1 agonists, called GLP-1s for short, are medications used to lower blood sugar levels. While they were originally intended to treat Type II Diabetes, healthcare providers have seen success in prescribing them to people with weight loss and body fat reduction goals. 

Individuals taking this medication will feel less hungry, thus eating less. Since one of the core tenets of weight loss is the old adage “calories in, calories out,” this medication makes that easier for people to achieve. People taking GLP-1s may have tried weight loss programs in the past or have easily felt discouraged when failing to achieve their goal weight in the past. That’s why these drugs are so helpful; they make weight loss attainable to everyone. While people treated with GLP-1s will still need to make lifestyle changes to maintain their weight loss long term, there is a benefit to seeing the short term success. 

Why ZOZOFIT is the Best Option for Tracking Body Composition Changes 

When taking Ozempic or Wegovy, you will want to track your body transformation over time. Seeing your successes and looking at how your body has changed is an important part of the weight loss journey. Choosing your tracking method is also incredibly important. 

ZOZOFIT is a fantastic option for tracking body composition changes because it was made to help users see both the little and big differences in the body. The traditional scale doesn’t tell the full picture of someone’s health. If you have been prescribed Mounjaro and also have picked up a weight lifting routine or began a different workout, then you will also be gaining muscle mass. The scale, since it only can calculate weight, won’t show you exactly how your body is changing. 

Another option for tracking progress is taking progress pictures. This is a popular method, but only offers a visual understanding of how your body has changed and can be impacted by lighting and clothing. On the contrary, the ZOZOFIT app creates a 3D model of your body and can show you accurate measurements that provides users with insightful data. 

Many ZOZOFIT users like that the ZOZOFIT app’s model is just that: a model. It makes it easier to see increased muscle definition and fat loss. One ZOZOFIT user who was interviewed for Business Insider said that it’s easier to be critical of herself when looking into a mirror, but when looking at her ZOZOFIT scan, she is able to really see how much she has changed. 

How to Use ZOZOFIT When Taking GLP-1s 

There are some best practices to follow if you want to get the most out of your ZOZOFIT experience.

The first step should be to take an initial scan. We recommend taking this scan either before you begin your GLP-1 agonist medication or within the first week of starting. This will give you an accurate picture of your body when you started and act as a benchmark for any future measurements. 

Before you take your second scan, you should set a goal in the ZOZOFIT app. Having a goal makes it more likely that you will work toward improvement and when you track your goal in ZOZOFIT, you can see updates on your progress every time you scan. Setting a SMART goal — a goal that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound — will increase your chance of success. Be sure that you aren’t aiming too high when first starting out. You may consider working with a doctor or other health professional to determine a safe and healthy body fat percentage reduction goal for you. 

Once you have completed your first scan and set your goals in the app, it’s time to get to work. Taking your GLP-1 medication in combination with an improved diet and increased exercise will garner results. We recommend scanning in the ZOZOFIT app every two weeks or once per month to make the most out of ZOZOFIT. These scanning intervals are far enough apart that you will be able to see noticeable changes, but close enough to help you stay on course and stay motivated in making changes. 

As the weeks and months go on, you should begin to see your body transform on screen. ZOZOFIT has two excellent features for looking at your progress: side-by-side comparison and ColorMetric. 

With side-by-side comparison, you can look at any two of your scans next to each other, making it really easy to see the difference. We recommend that users look at their base scan compared to their most recent scan to get the full effect of this feature. Comparing these two scans also makes it super easy to see how far you’ve come! 

ColorMetric is perfect for people who want a visual marker of how they’ve improved. Since it doesn’t use numbers, it’s also a great option for people who want to get away from number-focused diet culture and just focus on results. ColorMetric shows how you’ve changed from scan to scan using two colors: orange and teal. Orange marks places where measurements have increased and teal marks places where measurements have decreased.
